Cambridge is an accelerated academic program that helps students reach their academic goals and teaches them how to be global citizens. Cambridge prides itself on preparing students for the rigors of life, university, and career by teaching critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. The entire process is built on the philosophies of the Leaner Attributes. These ideals and strong academic expectation allow for students to become independent, global citizens that are ready to leave the protections of home and high school to successfully advance through whatever they choices they make.

Cambridge International’s online Grade Transcript Service
Starting October 27, 2023 the service will feature several improvements and will begin requiring a fee of $17 per grade transcript request to an institution.
Starting October 27, students will be able to:
Track the status of all requests; including payment and delivery to institutions
See when institutions can access their digital transcripts
View the grades sent with each transcript request
How can students pay?
Students will be able to pay the $17 fee for each transcript request per institution online by Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
Why are we charging a fee?
Student requests for transcripts have increased rapidly in recent years along with operational costs. This fee will help to ensure all student requests can be fulfilled expeditiously, tracked online, and available electronically to colleges and universities by the dates indicated.
Will fee waivers be available?
Fee waivers will not be available through Cambridge International.
Can students earn college credit or placement?
You can find the credit and placement policies of many institutions that have provided their policy in our Recognition and credit policy search. Please note that students should check with institutions directly for their most up-to-date policies.
Can students choose which exam grades are sent?
No. Students can choose one or more Cambridge International AS & A Level exam series to send (e.g., June 2022 and November 2022), but they cannot choose individual subjects from the series. All passing grades from Cambridge International AS & A Level exams taken during a series will appear in the transcript.
Can students request transcripts before taking exams or before results release?
Yes. About 3 months before each exam series starts, the series will become available to select in the Grade Transcript Form. Students may use a single request, with a charge of $17 per institution, to order transcripts for past series and to pre-order a transcript for results that have not yet been released.
Students can pre-order June series transcripts starting in late February, and November series transcripts starting in mid-August. Pre-ordered grade transcripts are sent within 14 days of results release day. Past exam series will be sent within 14 days after payment is received.
Where will information be posted for students?
Information and instructions will be shared on the student webpage Get and send exam grades.
Will these updates ensure that institutions receive transcripts on time?
Upgrades to online transcript delivery ensure that all student records will be sent electronically and available for institutions to download through CI Direct by the dates indicated. Institutions will have customer service support to enable them to access digital student records after they are sent. Students will also have clear tracking in their online Cambridge accounts of when institutions receive transcripts and what grades appear in those transcripts.
